The Portal includes specific information on all of the different Comodo partner programs available, as well as how they may be integrated into a diverse set of partner business models. Comodo introduced the Partner Portal to assist understanding on how to best leverage Comodo’s portfolio, for the best level of customer acquisition and retention. The portal resources include:

• Information on how to mine new customers opportunities based on Comodo’s depth of products
• Explanations of how to optimize the revenue potential of existing customers
• Descriptions on how to quickly integrate Comodo offers into a partner’s site

Melih Abdulhayoglu, CEO and Chief Security Architect of Comodo noted, ”Comodo places great emphasis on its partner community and hopes to keep its partner community successful as we continue to build trust online. Our new Partner Portal gives our partners easy access to important assets that will help them become more successful.”

The portal also contains specific partner resources that show partners how to use their account, specific email templates that they can use to communicate with their customers and promote Comodo’s products, and promotional materials on the latest Comodo products, including EPKI, TrustLogo and EV SSL.

Those interested in becoming a Comodo Partner, either a reseller, web host reseller or an affiliate, can visit the website and sign up. The site contains information on how partners can set up their account and get started in the program.

Recently, Comodo entered into a partnership with Russian web hosting service provider, Rusonyx, whereby Comodo will provide Code Signing Certificates verifying publisher identity to assure downloadable code content integrity. With Code Signing Certificates, users are protected from maliciously modified code and from hackers that corrupt the code during the download process, as these tactics are often used to steal sensitive user information.

The Internet has become the main distribution channel for software vendors around the world. At the same time, the dangers involved in downloading a product from the Internet have increased. When a user downloads a product via the Internet, they often risk acquiring malicious code that includes spyware, viruses, and Trojans. These programs can damage valid programs, destroy data and allow hackers access to a user’s personal information.

Software developers can obtain from Rusonyx a Code Signing Certificate for their executable code after going through a stringent application and verification process designed by Comodo. Code Signing Certificates provide key features and include:

• Digitally signed – 32-bit or 64-bit Portable Executable (.exe, .ocx, .dll or other) or .cab files
• Ensures authenticity – assures users that they know where the code came from
• Ensures integrity – verifies that code has not been tampered with since publication
• Microsoft Authenticode – industry standard coupled with trusted Comodo infrastructure
• Vista compatible – Code Signing Certificates are supported by all versions of Vista

Customers who download digitally signed Active X controls, dynamic link libraries, .cab files, HTML content or other code from a verified publisher’s site can be confident that code comes from its author and hasn’t been altered or corrupted since it was created and signed.

Code Signing Certificates, through the use of digital signatures, enables software developers to include information about themselves and their code so end users can be confident that code really comes from the programmer and has not been altered or corrupted since it was created and signed. If the code has been tampered with, the digital signature will not be valid and will alert customers that the code has been altered and is not trustworthy.

Rusonyx is one of Russia’s leading Web Hosting Service providers for Small to Medium Enterprises (SME). The RUSONYX.RU world-class, fully automated infrastructure is built on the RTComm nation-wide broadband backbone (30 GBps, over 130 cities) and offers SMEs secure, reliable and comprehensive VPS, dedicated and shared web hosting solutions.

The Comodo companies provide the infrastructure that is essential in enabling e-merchants, other Internet-connected companies, software companies, and individual consumers to interact and conduct business via the Internet safely and securely. The Comodo companies offer PKI SSL, Code Signing, Content Verification and E-Mail Certificates; award winning PC security software; vulnerability scanning services for PCI Compliance; secure e-mail and fax services.

Continual innovation, a core competence in PKI, and a commitment to reversing the growth of Internet-crime distinguish the Comodo companies as vital players in the Internet’s ongoing development. Comodo secures and authenticates online transactions and communications for over 200,000 business customers and 3,000,000 users of our desktop security products.

Port City Web has been helping Advertising Agencies and Marketing Communication firms develop interactive and eCommerce websites for their clients for the past 8 years. The announcement, and the formalization of the partner program, is intended to reach out to more firms and establish relationships quicker, as well as standardize the terms of the relationships. Port City Web recognizes that each relationship between itself and another firm is different, however there are many similarities that have been accounted for in the new partner program.

Erik Crago, President and CEO of Port City Web noted, ”The partner program is an excellent opportunity for Ad Agencies and Marketing Communication firms to get a highly skilled consulting and development team on-demand and very quickly. Let’s face it, Ad Agencies and Marketing Communication firms tend to have a junior developer on staff that has limited skills, or they outsource their work altogether. When it comes to talking intelligently about using interactive and web technologies to help a customer exceed expectations, most Ad Agencies and Marketing Communication firms find our services invaluable. By partnering with Port City Web, we act as consultants, web designers and developers — helping agencies win those bigger projects that have a significant web component.”

One of the biggest challenges that Ad Agencies and Marketing Communication firms face is taking a television, radio or print campaign online, and having it be successful. When designing for television, radio or print, one is trying to make the ad ‘pop’ and get someone’s attention in a relatively quick and compelling way. When designing a website, the focus should be on the content in most cases.

Mr. Crago added, ”Print designers who try to develop websites tend to put too much emphasis on the design of the site, which then overpowers the content — so the message is lost, making the website useless. This fatal flaw is even more dangerous when designing an eCommerce website, where the primary purpose is selling goods online. By designing the site to sell the product or the message, and matching the current branding with the site, we can successfully develop a website that will be powerful and effective, making the Ad Agency or Marketing Communications company look like a hero in the eyes of their client.”

Port City Web is a full-service website hosting, design, development, and marketing company. Specializing in online commerce, also known as ecommerce, Port City Web provides cost effective electronic marketing tools that are built to work with current systems, including web 2.0 business solutions. Past and present clients include The University of New Hampshire, Born and Bicknell, Columbia University, Service Credit Union, NAPS, K2, Lonza Biologics and Smith and Wesson.

Designed to allow dedicated server customers to control servers remotely with the same level of control they would have in the datacente, IP-KVM provides dedicated server customers with BIOS-level access through an Internet gateway. This allows servers to be managed hands-on, virtually anywhere in the world. Through the interface, customers can use their own keyboard, mouse and screen to control their dedicated server in the same way they control their home desktop computer.

Chris Silkman, OLM.net Business Manager noted, ”IP-KVM is one leap forward in our quest to make dedicated servers easier to manage and control by our customers. With this service, ‘on-the-go’ users can manage their servers anytime, anywhere, without using a command-line only interface. And with our industry-first 24 hour rental period, we are making IP-KVM more affordable and accessible than ever before.”

The IP-KVM service is offered as a premium add-on service, available either in one-time, monthly, or 24 hour rental subscription periods. Monthly subscriptions start at $30/monthly.

Programmers and other developers will be able to utilize IP-KVM to access a server’s BIOS, which they are unable to do remotely when the operating system is booted.

OLM.net is an integrated dedicated server, Web hosting and e-business solution provider for individuals, small to medium size business, and enterprises around the world. Founded in 1996, OLM has since emerged as one of the largest global Internet Solution Providers, hosting over 350,000 domains and thousands of dedicated servers in over 150 countries. OLM.net offers Web hosting, e-commerce, virtual and dedicated servers, reseller accounts, merchant and search engine services, Web design, SEO, and more.

Eduardo Vila, Chief Sales Officer of HostingPanama noted, ”For many, it has become increasingly important to have an ability to browse the web privately and securely, especially when handling sensitive data. Xpass provides user friendly functionality to make this a reality.”

The Xpass solution is encrypted and from a Panamanian IP address and creates a high-speed and completely secure proxy connection to the Internet by leveraging HostingPanama’s offshore infrastructure. To use the service, end users located anywhere in the world can use a Web browser to access an SSL-protected portal, or opt to install a small authentication application on their system to reroute all traffic through Xpass. In each case, Internet traffic is completely encrypted and the IP address of the origin network is masked.

Xpass is unique from other proxy services in the level of security it provides. Namely, by masking the IP address of the original network, Xpass eliminates the traversal of worms. In addition, with the service hosted in Panama, it is subject to some of the most protective privacy laws in the world – far more protective of privacy than the United States, Canada, or most of Europe.

To offer a distinct advantage for businesses, when Xpass is used from an uncontrolled or unknown environment (such as an airport’s Internet kiosk), it provides an array of server management tools, including Shell and Remote Desktop, allowing users to manage their servers without compromising security and privacy. The Xpass system starts at $49 per month, is powered by Citrix secure access software.

Based in Panama City, Panama, HostingPanama is an industry leader in outsourced web hosting and colocation services. Emphasizing privacy, security and reliability, the company provides services to over 7,000 businesses worldwide in its nearly 14,000 square feet of datacenter space. HostingPanama was founded in 1999.

The new offering also expands Hostway’s existing dedicated server range by increasing the reliability, scalability and cost-effectiveness of customer hosting arrangements.

David Foxley, enterprise technology manager, Hostway UK noted, ”Many companies are keen to use virtualisation because it can help them cut costs, increase server utilisation and make their infrastructure more robust and reliable, but simply don’t have the expertise or the resources to set up a virtualised server environment in-house. The licenses for ESX server can cost thousands of pounds alone, add to that the costs of implementing the technology and training staff to manage it and you could find that the cost of adopting virtualisation cannot be justified by the benefits it brings. Using our new hosted virtualised servers, companies can benefit from virtualisation without having to train and certify IT staff, or make large upfront investments.”

Hostway can now have new web, database or application servers up and running in around thirty minutes, rather than the several days required to build and configure a standard dedicated server. This helps companies to rapidly scale up their infrastructure as needed and enables a ”pay-per-resource” approach.

Hostway’s virtualised dedicated servers are also more robust than standard dedicated servers because resources can be split over a ”resource pool” including several different physical servers. This means that companies are no longer reliant on the performance of a single server box, ensuring business continuity in the event of one physical server failing.

Hostway’s dedicated virtualised servers also allow companies to stack different kinds of servers on top of each other, allowing them to run a web and exchange server on the same physical machine, for example, and add further servers as needed from their resource pool. In a typical web hosting scenario, companies can save between 13% and 17% on their hosting arrangements, as well as benefiting from Hostway’s hosting environment, which includes enterprise-grade firewalls, global server load-balancing, 24/7 support and fully managed systems. Hostway’s virtualised dedicated server environment has been successfully trialled with customers such as the BBC, Conjungo (a technology search engine) and the National Pub Quiz.

Mr. Foley added, ”Very often, businesses are forced to buy entire dedicated servers when they simply don’t need all the resources that the server offers. By using virtualisation, companies can purchase as many or as few resources as they need and run multiple web, application, database or email servers. This ”pay-per-resource” approach is much more cost-effective than purchasing entire new servers every time you add another business critical application. Furthermore, many companies are intimidated by using virtualisation platforms such as ESX because of the time and expense associated with training in-house IT staff, but by choosing hosted virtualisation, all of the maintenance and setup is outsourced to a team of VMWare-certified experts. By offering customers a more cost-effective, flexible and scalable solution, we can solve some of the traditional pain-points that companies have been experiencing with web hosting for years.”

Hostway Corporation provides domain name registration, web hosting and ecommerce, colocation, managed dedicated hosting, SaaS hosting, web design and online marketing services to more than 600,000 customers and over 2 million web sites worldwide. It operates state-of-the art data centers that reduce the complexity and cost of Web-based technologies for small businesses and large enterprises. Founded in 1998, Hostway provides web hosting and has a direct presence in 11 countries, 15 worldwide operation centers and more than 700 employees. Hostway franchises include: Affinity Internet, Bigstep, DiscountDomains, Hostway UK, Hostway Netherlands, Hostway Korea, Hostway Australia, Hostway Denmark, NetNation, PowerMedium, RegistryPro, Server Service, Service Over Internet, ValueWeb and WinSave.

After nearly a year of development, WiredTree’s new web site features an enhanced aesthetic scheme and improved navigation page layouts. Enhancements have been made to make the site more intuitive for new users and friendly to search engines and screen readers. The design firm Loading Deck was retained for the project.

VPS768 starts at just $85/monthly and includes access to WiredTree’s proprietary, award-winning Grove Client Portal.
